Transverse asymmetry of $gamma$ rays from neutron-induced compound states of ${}^{140}{rm La}$


Abstract in English

A correlation term ${{ sigma}_{n} }cdot ({ k_{n}times k_gamma}) $ in the ${}^{139}{rm La}(vec{n},gamma)$ reaction has been studied utilizing epithermal polarized neutrons and germanium detectors. The transverse asymmetry for single $gamma$-ray transition was measured to be $0.60pm0.19$ in the $p$-wave resonance.
